Still Life with Cotton Reels and Buttons

My wife has been having a clear out and she found a carrier bag full of cotton reels. It seemed a shame not to take a photo of some of them and I added a few buttons from my own props box. The background is an old wooden chopping board.

Enjoy the rest of today and I wish you all a lovely weekend..!!

Glad you enjoyed this shot Güni and that it also amused you. I'm not sure the buttons would look very good on my coat, but they're very photogenic :-))

Thanks for your kind comments my friend. Have a lovely evening and a restful Sunday. Take care and best wishes, Keith.

Thanks very much James........glad you liked the photo and especially the old cotton reels. There are plenty more where these came from, my wife is clearing out stuff we've had since we moved into the house well over 40 years ago, but I doubt there's much of any value :-)))

An invigorating contrast between the tawny wood and the bright colours of the thread and buttons. And a fine capture, as always. Great work, Keith.
